Anatomy of Feature 5. This
annotated plan map drawn in the field and drafted by Kenneth M. Brown, shows the level of detail that
archeologists were able to document from this well-preserved Middle Archaic feature. The intense
burning suggests the fire upon which the rocks were placed to heat was quite hot, as might be expected
from the building of an earth oven intended to bake plant foods, possibly roots, for 24 hours or more.
From Highley 1986, Figure 5.
